When I had mine pulled, it was about two-and-a-half to three weeks.
They told me two (all four of mine were impacted), and it HURT when I
tried to play. My dad, who is a dentist (but knows nothing about the
clarinet) says wait at least as long as your oral surgeon or dentist
told you. Since you're asking the list they probabloy didn't tell you.
I say try after a while and don't play extensively until it doesn't hurt
any more. It probably will stop hurting constantly several days before
it stops hurting to play. Just to make sure, ask your dentist or
whoever took them out.

Good luck and recover soon
